When we hear “Outback Steakhouse”, we think about big portions of steak, ribs and lamb chops. It is what I call ‘Australian concept, American portions’. After all, it is the largest steakhouse chain in the world, with more than 1000 branches around the world.

Outback Steakhouse finally opened its second restaurant in Singapore at Orchard Gateway. What took it so long? (You can access it from either Gateway to Level 1, or a direct link from 313@Somerset.)

Let’s start with the steaks. They are after all the signature of the restaurant.

The 4 types available are the Outback Special (6oz $27.90, 8oz $29.90, 10oz $31.90), New York Strip ($36.90), Ribeye ($37.90) and Victoria’s Filler ($37.90).

All the steaks are actually first dry-aged for a minimum of 21 days, then delivered un-carved to the restaurant in loins, subsequently cut and cooked to order in the kitchen.

We had both the Outback Special, an Australian sirloin steak and New York Strip, a 10oz longish thick-cut Strip steak – both are seasoned with a secret blend of 17 spices. The vote went unanimously to the Australian cut, thicker in breath and lean, but still tender and juicy.

One thing to note, the portions are big and hearty. Getting friends to share can be a good idea.

The steak orders come with two sides, from an extensive list of nine that includes favourites such as Corn on the Cob, Mashed Potatoes, Baked Potato, Aussie Fries, Rice Pilaf, Sweet Potato Fries.

My recommendation? The new Sweet Baked Potato topped with honey butter and cinnamon sugar, which is refreshing sweet and salty at the same time.

There are onion rings, but this is The Onion Ring like no other. Our starter arrived with stacks of deep fried crispy rings stacked circularly up, surrounding a dish of signature creamy and zesty Bloom sauce in the middle.

Ah, the Typhoon Bloom ($14.00), looking like a cyclonic starter, and very addictive as you peel layers and layers off the sides. Surprisingly not too oily, and doesn’t leave stains on the fingers.

I actually liked all three appetizers served, including the Tortilla chips in Spinach Artichoke Dip ($13.90) and Kookabura Wings (half $9.90, full $19.90) with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.

If you are not in the mood for beef, I would recommend the Tilpia with Pure Lump Crab Meat ($27.90), lighter in portion and still favourful. We liked that there are surprises within the fish, finding crab stuffing in zingy lemon butter Chablis sauce as we ‘dug’ further in.

We all ‘complained’ that we need to go on diet, and visit the gym, and then went “Ohhhhhh…..” at the Alice Springs Chicken ($25.90). Ok, okay. Flame-grilled chicken breast? Topped with crispy bacon? Plus sautéed mushrooms? Both Monterey Jack cheese and Parmesan cheese? AND Aussie fries.

We were sold.

In actual fact, the very first thing I ordered in Outback was the dessert. “Chocolate Thunder please.” They knew.

Save some space for this. The Chocolate Thunder from Down Under ($14.90) has fresh-baked rich pecan brownie, topped with vanilla ice-cream, and poured over with warm chocolate sauce. Guaranteed an instagram-hit, and something that would send you on a sugar high.

Thanks for hosting the giveaway Daniel!

My favourite dish from Outback Steakhouse is Chocolate Thunder from Down Under!
The combination of chocolate and ice-cream in a hot and cold mixture mostly never fail to work!
It is sinfully glorious, not only an eye candy, but a candy to the tongue too – the perfect finish that I am looking for.

Liked and shared! so far i've tried their sirloin steak and i would have to say that it was a hearty cut that was very flavorful. I'll definitely bring Clara Pun to try the Chocolate Thunder from Down Under after looking at this post!!!

Oh my! Now is 12.03am midnight…. And your post even made me hungrier!! Huhuhu

So yeah anyway, I really love the Onion Ring from Outback Steakhouse!! From
Just looking the photo, it tells me how it tastes already!! Ahh no I’m hungry huhuhu

As like what you said, Outback Steakhouse’s onion rings, is not like the other The Onion Ring! Outback Steakhouse’s starter arrived with stacks of deep fried crispy rings stacked circularly up, surrounding a dish of signature creamy and zesty Bloom sauce in the middle!

OMG ! Love the food from Outback! They are so so yummylicious that I wish I could order everything from the menu! But there's one dish I love best is the Australian Sirloin steak. Mm Mm……thinking of it makes me want to drool ! It's so tender and juicy. Just the way I like it! Every bite of it makes me feel like I'm in heaven! It's simply irresistible!! Hope to be the lucky one!

I like the new Sweet Baked Potato and would try this item if I win the vouchers. The using of toppings like honey butter and cinnamon sugar are very new and creative to me. And I always like to try new food 🙂

It has to be Typhoon Bloom! The idea of coiling the onion rings that resemble a cyclone is so creative and interesting. I have tired onions rings in singular pieces but not in this formation. Moreover, the chef intelligently places the sauce on the centre of the onions rings, which made it more easier to dip. I am confident that this appetizing dish will certainly add a zesty punch and send my taste buds to a full bloom!!!

My 1st experience for Outback Steakhouse was in the US, where I ordered a Porterhouse Steak and it was so awesome. Although Singapore, does not have it, but I would like to try out their Toowoomba Topped Sirloin instead. 🙂

My favourite dish is the Sweet Baked Potato topped with honey butter and cinnamon sugar. I love to eat sweet potatoes, and when the sweet and salty flavours are present in a dish, I love it even more! <3

My favourite dish from Outback Steakhouse is Kookabura Wings because I am a hard-core Wings lover and every time will always order this dish without fail because the wings are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside which trickle my tastebuds combined with their wing-tastic flavours which are marinated & absorbed fully with the spices and sauce ! <3 Daniel's Food Diary

My favourites would be Outback Special and Tortilla chips in Spinach Artichoke Dip, the food looks attractive with fresh ingredients used, suitable for carnivores like me. Spinach Artichoke Dip looks special, will like to try it too. : )

I love the Ribeye steak which is so juicy and fresh especially when it is medium rare with the tenderness in every bite, it brings me to higher level of taste and enjoyment! Appreciate the effort put in by the chef and the management! I hope to win to bring my family there to try the great food!

My favourite dish from Outback Steakhouse is the kookaburra Wings because I love to explore the different flavours and tenderness of wings. This wing, gives its tenderness and juiciness that provides its strong aroma taste that could never resist you from eating! Its meat is tender inside, and crispy and crunchy on the outside. The wings are so delicious that everyone will never have enough of it, till it's last piece, fight for the wings ! I would like to bring my family and share this awesome meals with my dearest family members ! Im sure they will like it as they are wings fans too ! <3

My favourite at Outback Steakhouse is definitely the tender and juicy Outback Special Australian Sirlon Steak. It's serving is big and also served with two side. Waiting for my next romantic dinner at Outback soon.

Liked and shared!! My favorite dish is probably Alice Springs Chicken. Topped up with the lovely combination of the melted cheesy with crispy bacon. The cheesiness and the crisps are just the bomb. When you eat it, your mouth is sure to explode with flavors. sautéed mushrooms? (Y) (Y) Definitely my type of dish. Although… may if I win the voucher, when I go there to dine, I would probably want to try their other variety of dishes. Everything ont he menu looks so yummilicious! I just want to try out everything! 😀

I would love to try the Chocolate Thunder from Down Under! I rmb having a chocolate dessert from outback steakhouse awhile back and I was so impressed with it. Moreover, I love ending my meal on a sweet note! 🙂

Alice Springs Chicken!! The name of the dish makes me feel like the owner has a farm which he/she grow up in and probably rear animals or grow vegetables for a living. This makes the dish sound so heartening delicious! 🙂
